In the brutal war in the Taier Mountains, some people finally escaped and survived.
They ran away from that hell on earth and returned to the town. The news of the Battle of the Tyre Mountains spread throughout the Maurya Kingdom in an instant.
The 300,000-strong army led by the Eastern Prince Xi Jin was completely annihilated in the Taier Mountains. This was certainly a bigger deal than anything else!
The defenders of those cities sent an urgent document of 800 miles to the central court in disbelief. Then all the city gates in the southern region were closed. The defenders on the city walls were equipped with flintlock rifles and stood guard on the city walls nervously, fearing that the army of only 3,000 people would attack the city they were defending.
Where on earth did this demon come from?
How can they be so powerful?
Three hundred thousand people!
I heard that in that valley in the Taier Mountains, corpses were piled up three feet high!
I heard that after the fire spread into the valley, the corpses burned in the sea of fire and the smell of corpses lingered for ten miles.
Even Prince Xi Jin died in there and was probably turned into ashes.
These damn enemies can only be eliminated after His Majesty the King sends the Peacock Legion!
The fat man could only know about the situation in the outside world through the information sent by the spies of Tianji Pavilion.
This time he listened to Ji Yungui's advice, of course, mainly because it was what Fu Xiaoguan said.
He led his troops out of that hell on earth and went deeper into the Tyre Mountains. He found an excellent place, which was also a canyon, but it was surrounded by mountains on all sides, with only a narrow entry point on the north.
There is a lake inside, and the lakeside is full of various wild flowers.
The soldiers began to cut wood and build a house, while Fatty and Ji Yungui stood by the lake.
"My son...when will he arrive?"
"It will probably take more than a month."
Ji Yungui looked at the fat man. The fat man had not asked these days, but now he couldn't help but ask. In his heart, Fu Xiaoguan was obviously extremely important. Even Xu Yunqing couldn't persuade the fat man, but he listened to Fu Xiaoguan's words.
"The Peacock Kingdom has a million-strong Peacock Army. They've already sent 100,000 soldiers this way. You wiped out 300,000 enemy troops in one fell swoop. I suspect the Peacock Army will send even more soldiers."
"You've already seen the Peacock Legion's weapons, so your majesty also intends to fight the enemy in the mountains and forests. The Peacock Kingdom is mountainous, which is extremely advantageous for the Great Xia Army."
"So, after Your Majesty arrives in the Peacock Nation, the Tianji Pavilion will bring Your Majesty to the Taier Mountains to reunite with you. As for how the ensuing battle will unfold, Your Majesty will most likely rely on the Taier Mountains to wear down the enemy's Peacock Legion... This will minimize the losses of our Great Xia Army. Therefore, Your Majesty, please first find and establish a base here."
"Four hundred thousand people, what to eat?"
"The Tianji Pavilion is gathering information from the surrounding towns. The wheat will soon be ripe. We will send some people to grab it when the time comes."
"...Okay! Set up more sentries and build more houses. My son...are you planning to stay here forever?"
"His Majesty intends to turn the Taier Mountains into a meat grinder. Once a sufficient number of the Peacock Legion's forces have been destroyed, he will then march north. His strategic goal is to push the Peacock Kingdom back a hundred years!"
The fat man was stunned. "So it means it's completely destroyed?"
"Yes, smash it completely!"
…
…
The imperial palace of Huayue City, the capital of the Peacock Kingdom.
Ashoka was furious when he saw the pile of urgent letters from the south in front of him:
"Three thousand people!"
"Three thousand people wiped out my army of three hundred thousand?!"
"Xi Jin..." He growled through gnashing teeth, "Damn it, you think your death will be the end of everything?"
"Deprive Xi Jin of his title as vassal king and execute all nine generations of his clan!"
Ashoka, who was about thirty years old, glared with anger, and all the ministers below were terrified and lowered their heads.
In the eighty years since the establishment of the Maurya Empire, the Maurya Empire has become unprecedentedly powerful under the leadership of Ashoka.
They had the most powerful army, and they were invincible in their conquests of this land. But now this myth seems to have been broken. The army that was said to have crossed the sacred mountain had only 3,000 people, but they were wreaking havoc in the southeastern territory of the Maurya Kingdom as if they were in no man's land.
They raided several cities and now have even annihilated Xi Jin’s 300,000-strong army!
No wonder Ashoka wasn't angry.
The powerful and conceited king was slapped in the face, very loudly and ugly.
"Azola..."
"I am here!"
A general in his forties wearing armor stood up.
"Now, I order you to personally lead 400,000 Peacock Army soldiers to the Taier Mountains. The 100,000 Peacock Army soldiers led by Abrasu will also be under your command!"
"Remember this, a mere 3,000 people is not my goal!"
"After you eliminated those 3,000 people, you also crossed the sacred mountain with an army of 500,000. This emperor wants to know what kind of country is on the other side of the sacred mountain!"
"Your Majesty, obey your command!"
Ashoka took a deep breath, his hands resting on the desk, his eyes gleaming with brilliance: "Find that country and completely destroy it for me!"
"Remember, leave no one alive!"
"Your Majesty, obey your command!"
On this day, the 400,000 Peacock Army stationed outside Huayue City set out under the leadership of General Asola.
It had been many years since the Peacock Kingdom had deployed the Peacock Army on such a large scale. The news spread quickly, and the people of the Peacock Kingdom cheered, all feeling that this invincible army would wipe out the invading enemies.
On this day, the 400,000-strong army led by Fu Xiaoguan crossed Mount Everest and was heading towards the Peacock Kingdom.
On this day, Alexander the Great also led his army across the Helem River and fought with the Kingdom of Porus.
There have been many changes in this history. In Fu Xiaoguan's original world, Alexander the Great had only 40,000 soldiers in his eastern expedition, but in this history, he brought an army of 400,000!
The Porus Kingdom surrendered after only two days of resistance, and the expeditionary force continued to move eastward towards the Hyphasis River.
If there were satellites in the sky, one could clearly see three massive armies moving across this continent.
The 400,000-strong army of Daxia was heading north, the 500,000-strong army of the Maurya Kingdom was heading south, and Alexander the Great's 400,000-strong army was heading east. Unfortunately, no one knew about this at the moment, and Fu Xiaoguan was no exception.
When night fell, Fu Xiaoguan's 400,000-strong army found a sheltered place and set up camp.
In his tent, He Sandao, Guan Xiaoxi, Feng Xiwei, Wubing and Chen Po were sitting together, and on the table was a map of the Peacock Kingdom.
"Here," Fu Xiaoguan pointed his finger at the Taier Mountains, "my father brought 3,000 people and established a base here."
"This time, the strategic plan will not be changed. We will head straight for this base. We must raid all the towns along the way, seize enough food, and let the enemy know we are coming."
"We will fight the enemy's Peacock Legion in the Tyre Mountains until... their main force is completely destroyed!"
